A bunch of compressed old entries on
es.wiktionary.org are corrupted.
For example, history entries on the Portada are corrupt from June 16
through August 11 and September 24 through October 25.
A spot-check of corrupt entries shows a byte pattern very reminiscent
of a text conversion from Latin-1 to UTF-8. I need to know when this
wiki was converted, and exactly what was done; are there prior backups?
Is the conversion reversible? Might we have the same problem on other
wikis?
